I know I'm in the minority here but I had no issue with the articulation from the first few waves of DCIH. I don't need the ankle joints just because they feel so fragile and I'm worried the feet will snap off.

I agree with you Eric just for basic articulation the elbow and knew joints are musts.

I'm disappointed with the IM3 figures. It's mostly due to the paint apps. With the Avengers movie figures the articulation was reduced but at least there was a little more detail with the paint jobs.

I don't get the no knee articulation thing AT ALL. What is this, 1980? (1984 if you're a Secret Wars fan, but still...)

Unfortunately, research has shown that kids don't like too much articulation in their action figures. Even Star Wars has started reducing their articulation on kid-oriented figures. Even those 12" figures have limited articulation. Just be glad Mattel hasn't removed the elbow and knee joints on the movie masters.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't care for too much articulation either.

I'm all for Star Wars style articulation. For seem reason, it seems other companies are unable to do the same style of articulation without sacrificing sculpt and quality. In which case, they should just stick to what they know… as long as it's not McFarlane "articulation"

I got some McF figures with dioramas. Don't like them. The dios sit with my Remco figures, the McF figures sit in a cup.

CCC.

MU has had some absolutely excellent figures that have shown the potential of the scale. However, DCIH's males were acceptable to me at the original Target price-point of $4.99 or $9.99/3. The DCIH females were a disappointment all around, but the V-crotch and lack of elbows were the major problems.

I certainly wouldn't be upset if DCIH v1 made a comeback at $7/each, but instead we seem to be getting the wrong costumes and questionable quality for $29.99/2 instead. Sigh.

I don't think we gonna to see decently articulated figures for less than $10 anymore.Heck, I'm not convinced we'll be seeing decently articulated figures at retail in the future unless they're 6 inch scale.
